Romantic quotes - please share your favorites

Hi -

I'm working on my programs and looking for quotes - if you have any favorites please share them. So far I have
Grow old with me, the best is yet to be - Robert Browning
There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved - George Sands

Thanks,
Donna

A heart that loves is always young.

Love is an irresistible desire
To be irresistibly desired.

True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist,
Nor can it be hidden where it truly does

To love is not to look at one another,
But to look together in the same direction

Here are 2 I'm using in my program:

Now join hands; and with your hands, your hearts - William Shakespeare

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. - Emily Bronte

Love is something eternal....
The aspect may change,
But not the essence

When you realize
You want to spend
The rest of your life with somebody,

You want the rest of your life
To start as soon as possible.


Love is that condition in which
The happiness of another person
Is essential to your own.

It's not really a 'love quote' but we're using
'where you are is where I belong' — Dave Matthews
We're getting it engraved in our wedding bands and we'll be using it on our programs.

'Love is smiling on the inside and out'

'Real love stories never have an ending'

'Love is like an eternal flame, once it is lit, it will continue to burn for all time'

There is only one happiness in life, to love and to be loved (I think you have this but mine says it is by George Sand)

'Love reminds you that nothing else matters

Thanks so much ladies!
Love them all. Now I just have to figure out who they belong to.

These are two biblical love quotes I like from the Song of Soloman - Old Testament.

I am my beloved, and my beloved is mine

I have found the one whom my soul loves...

why do you have to find out who they belong too... you don't want to put the author on your programs....?

To Jill13bean - Some of the ones posted did not have a name listed, I don't feel right using them with out listing the originator.

You are supposed to cite them right?

I agree - you are most definately supposed to cite to the author of a quote - these are peoples lives work & art and it would be wrong not to give them credit.
So far I have only found 1 i am definately using - To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

LOVE these two quotes.

By Emily Dickinson...

Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.

'You're my castle, you're my cavern, and my instant pleasuredome. I need you in my house cause you're my home' - Billy Joel

..not exactly a traditional 'love' quote, but I like it!

On the back of our programs:

'For every human being there rises a light that reaches straight into heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.'
- Baal Shem Tov

I love this quote. Also check out Kahil Gibran.


Kahlil Gibran on Love
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.


For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.


Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.


All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.


But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then is is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.


When you love you should not say, 'God is in my heart,' but rather, 'I am in the heart of God.'
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.


Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

This is my favorite saying of all time!! I also like 'Live well, laugh often, love much' We have that printed on our favors.
